    The Neighborhood Beer
    Carri N.

    Delish beer selection. Clean, open and comfy atmosphere. Quick attentive service made the food stop keep us on schedule.

    Old fashion

    We stopped on a Sunday night/they have a huge inviting outdoor patio area. The craft beer is amazing!! It was too cold but will be awesome this summer. The cocktails - amazing good Old Fashion! The food was awesome/ just hands down! The waiter, Daylin, he did a great job!

    Great Solon staple brewpub. Atmosphere is nice. It was a Friday night and it was packed. I've been a few times and had their pizza this round. It was good. A friend had their pasta that used locally made pasta. Looked yummy.

    What a beautiful night on the patio at big grove! Our waitress was pleasant, attentive and polite. Our food was excellent. We got the Caprese Baratta for an appetizer and a jerk chicken pizza that was the special tonight. As usual the beer choice is always awesome! We will definitely be back soon!

    Take it home !!!!

    We had a great time here watching the Iowa football game. Our waitress was very thoughtful and made us feel at home. It's that Iowa NICE! I would suggest this little drive out of Iowa City, for great food and service.

    Pastrami sandwich and beer on the patio.  Perfection N!

    Love the Big Grove Solon location. A little more upscale food then the other locations but it's always a hit. Tonight we sat on the patio (beautiful night) and loved it. They had an event going raising money for pheasants forever, another plus and it was a little loud inside, but the patio was perfect. Pur waitress hot it put of the park. Attentive without being intrusive. OMG. the pastrami! A rueben on nitro. Delicious. Make this a must try place

    Can I just say...... I LOVE THIS PLACE! The food is phenomenal and I can't complain about the beer selection. My husband and I stopped by after just getting to town because we wanted to check out some of the local beer options since we were going to be relocating. We totally lucked out since we got there just in time for Happy Hour which is a great deal at 1/2 priced beers. We ended up finding a house not too far from the brewery so will be excited for future visits. We've ended up coming back after closing on our house since we didn't have much in the means of cooking since none of our things have arrived yet. We split a beet salad and a flat bread.... so delicious which is saying a lot since my husband is not a big fan of beets but ate it up! If you are in town I would definitely recommend checking it out for an amazing meal and some good beer.

    Sweet potato fries!
    Loren B.

    I love Solon every time I come here. We stumbled onto Big Grove Brewpub and were not disappointed. The mostly friendly atmosphere and plenty of options not on every menu. I will be back for the sweet potato fries with whipped goat cheese, Shara (I had no idea, but definitely know now) and herbs. The fried chicken was tasty but too much breading for my taste. Service was awesome and the manager called us friends! So cute Absolutely check this place out!

    Neighborhood beer winner!

    I have been a loyal customer of ReUnion's Sunday brunch for about two years, having eaten there…read morealone and oftentimes with a party of eight. The food is pretty good, if a little pricey. But overall, the experience has been pretty good. Until today. Sunday Brunch begins at 10 am. Today, I walked in alone at 10:02. By alone, I mean there was nobody else in the place except the maitre d ',, the manager, the bartender, and the waitstaff. In other words, zero customers. Not a big surprise since it was a Sunday morning and ReUnion had just opened I was seated; my waitress, took my drink order, and I hit the buffet line. So zero-minute ticket time. The waiter brought my coffee and disappeared. Time passed. At about the five-minute mark, the manager came by to check on me. After 15 more minutes, my drink had gone dry. I could see the waitresses crowded around the gaggle of other waitpersons, gabbing about who knows what. She never came back... I got up and asked the manager if my waitress had gone off duty. I spoke to the manager and expressed my disappointment with the lack of service. I was the only customer in the place, and my waitress couldn't be bothered. The manager's response was to "handle me." She offered no apology. When I asked her how she would feel in my place, she double-talked, i.e., had no answer. I very politely told the waitress that I tip a minimum of 25 percent, but that today's tip would be two dollars. She, too, failed to apologize or offer any reason for her terrible service. And..... and... she had zero other customers. There are too many other buffets in town for me to put up with this substandard tableside manner.

This restaurant/watering…read morehole has sit-down option, seating at the bar and then additional seating outside the restaurant itself. The space is very well done. We were headed out on summer vacation and needed a celebratory beverage to start us off. Big Grove for us, chocolate milk for the littles. Perfection. The drink selection was great! The food menu looked pretty standard. Wings, salads, quesadillas, nachos. Pricing is as expected at an airport. Honestly, I was most impressed at their breakfast menu! Tons of options-- burritos, pizza, bagels, English muffins... yum! (Ranging from like $3-$8, too.) Overall, wet your whistle at Millstream Brewhaus!

    Being the only food/drink option past security at CID/Eastern Iowa airport in Cedar Rapids,…read moreMillstream Brewhaus has a big responsibility to "bring it" and get it right. I found them at a good time where they were not at capacity at the beginning of my airport visit and sampled some of their menu waiting for my flight out back home. The place is adequate size for the airport (which is not a massive airport). MB was clean and well maintained, and welcoming without being too ornate. My servers were very positive and attentive, even towards the end of my visit where MB started to be at full capacity. I had the chicken tender app and the quesadilla app, both were good and hit the spot. If you sample their beers and ales made by their own Millstream Brewing Co., I recommend trying their White Ale. It's on the order of a Blue Moon type Belgian but much more flavorful and enjoyable...I wish they were near to my home as I enjoyed this one a lot! Bottom line: Definitely try Millstream Brewhaus if you get a chance to visit CID airport. Pretty good eats and a great White Ale. Positive and attentive service in a nice atmosphere. I enjoyed my visit!
